In addition, APD encourages homeowners and business owners to register their security cameras with the Eagle Watch Program. This will allow detectives to quickly reach you in the event video footage retrieval may be helpful in solving a crime in your area. Camera registration does not give APD remote access to your cameras. In the event video evidence is available, camera owners will be provided with a secure link via a registered email address to upload relevant footage to APD’s evidence system.
